Cumulative update KB5003214 fails to install
Jauhar I have tried to upgrade Windows 10 using the media creation tool and it fix the same problem that you have mentioned. I have the same problem before installing KB5001330 and a lot of Cumulative Updates. Just select Upgrade This PC and make sure to select Keep Files and Apps to make sure that you still have the apps/files that you have before upgrading. For me, it takes about 1 hour from the Media Creation Tool up to a couple of restarts. But it depends on your internet speed. And now I can install all updates. Also tried SFC and DISM Scans but did not fix my problem. Upgrading your PC will replace your Windows Files, but not affects Files, Apps, and Drivers. After that, there will be some updates in the Windows Updates after the upgrade.
Optional:
Delete the ESD Folder in the C:/ directory
Settings/System/Storage/Temporary Files then scan our Temporary Files and delete the Previous Installation of Windows. (Deletes the Windows.old folder)
*Doing Optional things will make your drive space bigger as it deletes the files used in the upgrade, but its files will be needed if you have problems, to go back to the previous install/state.
Also, I tried it with my another PC, with an AMD A8 CPU that takes about 1 and a half hour for the upgrade process and it also fix the problem. Hope that works.
I've also been having headaches running the updates the last few months. Currrently with the 2021-05 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5003214), when running the update, I would receive the errors when installing that the computer is diagnosing problems and running repairs. It then reboots and scaps the update gives me 0x80004005 for the error code. Currently running build 19043.899 and Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3740.0. Tried doing the manual install and of course that was a no go. Jauhar
